Apple's
new iPhone
4 has a lot going for it -- a gorgeous "retina"
display that beats even the toughest Android competition in
resolution, the addition of multitasking, an improved camera, Apple's
new A4 ARM processor, 802.11n wireless, and more. Those factors
and Apple's hot brand image have helped the company overcome concerns
about app
censorship and security issues,
launching it to early records.

AT&T reports to us that it
has received a staggering amount of pre-orders since the process
opened yesterday. An AT&T spokesperson writes, "iPhone
4 pre-order sales yesterday were 10-times higher than the first day
of pre-ordering for the iPhone 3G S last year. Consumers are clearly
excited about iPhone 4, AT&T's more affordable data plans and our
early upgrade pricing."

In total over 600,000 pre-orders
were placed.

AT&T's webpage reported "13 million
visits" yesterday of customers checking if they were eligible
for an upgrade -- three times the previous record, according to
AT&T.

Those visits helped crash some of AT&T's
servers, denying service to many seeking pre-orders. Some of
these customers were able to place pre-orders at Apple stores.

In light of the incredible demand, AT&T has suspended pre-orders
indefinitely. It may reopen the process if its secures more
stock, it says. It writes, "We are working hard to bring
iPhone 4 to as many of our customers as soon as possible."

Because Americans are being trained to except less, after AT&T is found out, Americans shrug their shoulders and go OH OK I will just put up with slower speeds. Last thing Americans will admit to is that they bought an expensive toy and can't use it the way it was meant to be used . Can you imagine the broadband speed if AT&T geared up for the Iphone. A couple of hot spots and they can say that not everyone is having problems.
